The energy was almost tangible in the early ComicCon bootleg videos we saw of the Tron teaser Trailer. When people saw those light cycles you could hear the crowd buzz, but the real eruption happened when we saw Jeff Bridges grace the screen looking so badass in his jammies. Damn that was good. Now it looks like Bridges will have someone to share old Tron stories with the new younger cast – Bruce Boxleitner is back too!
Bruce Boxleitner has signed on to return in TRON 2.0, according to ComingSoon. Boxleitner played Alan Bradley, aka TRON, in the original 1982 Disney film Tron, and will reprise his role in the sequel. Previously announced, Jeff Bridges will reprise the role of Kevin Flynn
It also looks like the return of the original Tron actor has also quietly ushered an end to the Tr2n and TRZ rubbish as well. The article notes that IMDB and the industry trades are universally calling this project Tron 2.0.
I like that they are bringing back the actors from the first movie. I would like to see how the tech world has grown, and to parallel that we will get to see it through the eyes of some key elements of the original cast.
Brilliant.
